Uzayın bilinmezliği tarih boyunca merak uyandırmıştır. Uzayın sırlarının anlaşılabilmesi için gözlemlemek, ulaşmak (gitmek), araştırma yapmak ve geri dönmek uzay lojistiği unsurlarınca mümkün olmaktadır. Fakat sınırların olmadığı uzayda bilinmezlikler ve çeşitli riskler vardır. Araştırmanın amacı uzay lojistiğinin önemli bir unsuru olan uzay araçlarının karşılaştığı risklerin incelenmesidir. Araştırma ticari fırlatma faaliyetlerinde sıklıkla kullanılan Falcon 9 özelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Havacılık ve Uzay alanında uzmanların katılımıyla elde edilen verilerin analizinde PLS-SEM yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın analizinde Smart PLS 4 programı kullanılmıştır. Bağımlı değişken process risks ile technical risks and environmental risks arasında anlamlı ve pozitif quality ile ise anlamlı ama negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Uzay lojistiği sürecinin en önemli süreçlerinden biri olan fırlatma ve taşıma faaliyetlerini etkileyen riskler kategorize edilip aralarındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Araştırmada kategorize edilen risklerin yanı sıra uzayın belirsizliklerinden dolayı önce görülmemiş riskler ile karşılaşılabilir. Uzay lojistiği hali hazırda dinamik ve gelişime açık bir alandır.

Space Logistics and Risks: A Study on Spacecraft

Öz

The mysteries of space have aroused curiosity throughout history. To understand the secrets of space, it is possible to observe, reach (go), research, and return through the elements of space logistics. However, in space, where there are no boundaries, there are uncertainties and various risks. The purpose of the research is to examine the risks faced by space vehicles, an important element of space logistics. The research was conducted specifically on the Falcon 9, which is frequently used in commercial launch activities. The PLS-SEM method was used in the analysis of the data obtained with the participation of experts in the Aviation and Space field. Smart PLS 4 software was used in the analysis of the research. In the analysis of the research, a significant and positive relationship was found between the dependent variable process risks and technical risks and environmental risks, while a significant but negative relationship was found with quality. Risks affecting the launch and transportation activities, which are one of the most important processes of space logistics, were categorized, and their relationships were examined. In addition to the categorized risks in the research, due to the uncertainties of space, unprecedented risks can be encountered. Space logistics is currently a dynamic and open field for development.
